(I told you the reason I wasn't able to post yesterday, and I stand by that; School takes precedence.)

Following the two team songs, everyone left the stage, to allow for the following MC. "Hello, everyone," Alisa spoke. "I am Murasaki Alisa, understudy of the 153rd generation. It more than warms my heart to find so many taking time out of their day to come today. It honestly does. I will not lie and say that I have not been scared of this day. Succession is in AKB0048 a rather big deal. It is usually viewn as 'the next step' for many members, and a very important step at that. It still feels a bit odd as well. I have been terrified of the entire phenomenon. What if I do not feel comfortable in the name I have now been given? Will I have to try to fit the image of the member I am succeeding, even if my personality may differ completely? Those were both questions I have pondered over, and I have never really been able to answer them."

She paused. "When succeeding, you are handed a blank slate that you can choose to decorate however you want. The previous slates tend to have some sort of theme running through all of them, all the way up to the original member. As it turns out, I am blessed. I do not need to answer the second question, because the plate I recieved is blanker than most, and as such, I can look forward without hesitating. Continuing to strive to be a pillar, continuing to do my best. That is the torch Murasaki Alisa passes over to Eguchi Aimi the 4th."

Aimi, standing on a rizer was illuminated by a spotlight, before the rest of the members came onstage for Ice no Kuchizuke.
